StJohnsWortPsoriasis is an autoimmune inflammatory skin disease characterized by the hyper-proliferation of keratinocytes and plaque formation. This is associated with lymphocyte (white blood cells) infiltration and other inflammatory markers. St. John’s Wort is known as a powerful inhibitor of inflammation.

It has been used traditionally for wound healing and inflammatory conditions. The efficacy of topical St. John’s Wort for the treatment of psoriasis was investigated in a recent Australian single-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot study. Ten patients with plaque type psoriasis applied St. John’s Wort cream (5%) to one side of their body and a placebo cream to the other side of their body over four weeks. Plaques were assessed both before and after treatment. PASI (psoriasis area severity scores) which measures erythema, scaling and thickness of plaques, was used to assess response to treatment. It was found that all three measurements were significantly lowered by treatment with St. John’s Wort cream. These results are promising as medical treatment usually includes treatment with cortisol cream which may ultimately weaken the skin with repeated use. Hopefully larger controlled clinical studies will clarify its efficacy in psoriasis in the future. (Source Optimal Rx, August 2012)
